Chapter 19 Summary

Brooke starts having vivid nightmares about her father as she attempts to sleep in the same bed she grew up in. When she goes to see Midge, Midge empathizes with her, and teaches her about emancipation. She warns Brooke that it will be a long, grueling process, as will her road to recovery, and tells Brooke to start identifying triggers and why they happen. Brooke realizes the emancipation process could take months or even a year, and decides to lie to her mother and say the process is already complete. She packs up to leave as Molly screams and cries, but Brooke is finally prioritizing her own wellbeing and goes to live in her car. She gets a job at a gym and frequently stays with friends, and one night while staying with Cristin, they decide to go to a party. Cristin smokes cannabis and drinks, becoming inebriated, and then insists on having her drunk friend drive her and Brooke home. Brooke demands that she drive and is shocked to see how reckless Cristin is being. On the drive home, Cristin’s intoxicated state causes her to be more truthful, and she reveals that she had an abortion and never told anyone.
